Questions?  We're happy to help.

Just looking for a sound recording or video (DVD, etc)?

• In Tiger, select AUDIO/VIDEO from the drop down box for searching.

Use an AUTHOR search to find sound/video recordings of composers and performers.

• REMEMBER! You must use Last Name, First Name when conducting an AUTHOR search!

Check out what videos are available through Kanopy, an on-demand streaming video service. You'll find many films about Wagner.

The Music Library provides streamed audio, available 24/7 in two ways:

• Course Audio Reserves  linked from your Canvas course pages.  Access is limited to students enrolled in the course.

• Streamed audio databases, purchased by the college, available for all CC users on- and off-campus.  These include American Song, Classical Music Library, Contemporary World Music, Database of Recorded American Music, Jazz Music Library, Popular Music Library and Smithsonian Global Sound.

You have access to pysical recordings  from three sources -- TIGER, Prospector, and WorldCat:

Delivery Times

• Prospector: 3-5 business days
  

• WorldCat (Interlibrary Loan): 5-10 business days

When searching TIGER, Prospector, and WorldCat, try to

• Use broad keywords from your class reading to begin your search.
• Refine your searches by adding keywords.
• Click on the subject headings of interesting sound/video recordings to find similar materials and more search terms.
• Try the Library of Congress Authorities and Vocabularies thesaurus to find variations of keywords and subject headings.

Think Broadly. Remember to think broadly when searching for materials - that is, to realize that your specific topic will probably be treated in books that cover a broader subject.

Once you find a resource relevant to your topic, use subject headings to help you find more.

To limit your results to recordings (sound/video), select Audio/Video from the drop down box.

Search Examples:

• Keyword (limited to Audio/Video drop down box)
  • Beethoven concert*   An asterisk expands your search, by including any letter that could follow the letters preceeding it  (concerto, concerti, concertc, etc.) 
• Subject (limited to View Entire Collection)-by doing this you'll see a variety of useful subject headings.
  • Heavy metal
             You'll see the Subject Heading you want in the results list!

Of course, you will also want to search for recordings with more specific information, such as performers, composers, titles of works.
